hi everyone anat kler here with a new
0:12
video tutorial and today I'm going to
0:14
show you how to make a window flip card
0:17
which is really cool you have a link to
0:19
all the measurements and the written
0:21
instructions in the description under
0:23
the video you can go ahead and download
0:25
it there so we're going to start with
0:27
piece a and we're going to score it at 2
0:32
and 3/4 this is going to create our top
0:36
flap
0:38
for the the
0:40
card you need to use it's very important
0:44
you need to use a thick card stock
0:46
otherwise your mechanism will not
0:49
work so a thick card
0:53
stock not just a regular one next we're
0:56
going to create a window to cut out a
0:58
window on the bottom of the card so
1:01
we're going to measure half an inch from
1:03
the bottom and then draw a line with a
1:10
pencil just draw it very softly so you
1:13
can later so it's not going to be
1:16
too uh hard to erase and then we're
1:19
going to measure 3/4 of an inch from
1:23
each side so from the left 3/4 of an
1:26
inch and then from the right 3/4 of an
1:28
inch and then and then we're going to
1:30
draw lines as
1:32
well so you can measure two points to
1:39
create um a straight line parallel to
1:42
the edge I'm just eyeballing it so we're
1:46
going to measure from the bottom line
1:50
that we drew 2 in to create the top line
1:54
also we're going to draw that line so
1:57
now you see we have a
2:01
rectangle drawn in the on the bottom of
2:04
the card which we're going to cut out
2:08
always use I think it's the
2:11
most convenient and accurate to use a
2:15
ruler and a craft knife you can do this
2:19
with a trimmer if you feel more
2:21
comfortable with that but I think this
2:25
way is more accurate again it's
2:27
completely up to you
2:30
so we're going to take out that
2:32
rectangle
2:33
completely to create a window this is
2:37
where we're going to build the flap that
2:39
is going to
2:41
turn inside the window so this is step
2:45
one going to
2:47
fold the
2:50
flap this is going to be sort of the
2:53
handle that we're going to
2:55
pull to flip the window step to is to
3:00
take piece
3:02
B we're going to score piece
3:05
B at half an
3:09
inch then we're going to fold it
3:12
whenever you fold something
3:14
use a bone folder or your fingers or
3:18
something to really burnish it and then
3:21
we're going to
3:24
measure from the top 3 in
3:30
to create again we need to draw a
3:36
line at 3 in from the
3:43
top and then we're going to measure half
3:46
an inch from
3:48
each Edge on the bottom because we're
3:51
going to cut out two
3:57
legs this is going to be the cover
4:02
and the thing that will
4:04
pull the flip
4:09
window so we're going to cut along the
4:12
vertical lines that we
4:15
measured and then we're going
4:18
to cut that 3
4:21
in from the top line and have this so
4:26
this is step two this is piece number
4:30
this is piece B
4:34
sorry and this is going to be attached
4:37
to the card like
4:43
this
4:45
okay so the legs are going to be between
4:48
the window they're going to Center
4:53
that we're going to apply
4:56
glue on that half an inch
5:01
flap and we're going
5:03
to lay it
5:06
flat up against the score line and then
5:10
close that top flap to
5:13
secure make sure that the legs don't
5:17
block the window they need to be on both
5:20
sides of the window so now when you open
5:22
and close the flap that piece b gets
5:26
pulled up and
5:28
down next we're going to create our flip
5:31
window we're going to take piece
5:34
C and
5:36
measure half an inch from the
5:44
top and then
5:47
draw a line with the
5:51
pencil so I just I'm drawing two short
5:54
lines instead of one long lines because
5:57
we're just going to create little
6:00
tabs on the side and then we're going to
6:03
measure half an inch from the edges as
6:10
well again you have all the measurements
6:13
in The Cutting guide then draw a line to
6:18
meet draw a vertical line to meet the
6:21
horizontal
6:25
line and then we're going to measure
6:28
again half an inch from that horizontal
6:40
line and then we're going to draw a
6:43
line a horizontal and a vertical line as
6:47
on the other side and then we're going
6:50
to cut that
6:51
out to create little tabs on the side
6:56
they're half an inch tabs
7:00
so it's going to make sense in just a
7:02
minute I hope you can see that so then
7:06
take your ruler and craft knife again
7:08
this is the best
7:10
way and cut
7:13
out all the corners the Four Corners to
7:16
create your tabs according to the lines
7:19
that you have
7:22
drawn the tab is not in the
7:25
center so you measure half an inch from
7:28
the top but the
7:30
distance to the bottom is not half an
7:32
inch so if you're worried about that you
7:35
did something right it's not supposed to
7:37
be in the center
7:40
so I'm going to cut that out and then
7:42
I'm going to show you how that
7:45
looks let's cut the other
7:49
side this is what's going to flip inside
7:53
the window we're going to see one side
7:56
and then we're going to see the other
7:57
side when we open the top flap of the
8:06
card just making sure cut according to
8:10
the lines so this is what you should
8:12
have you see this is the these are the
8:16
tabs and they are half an inch from the
8:18
top but not half an inch from the bottom
8:21
then you need to cut your
8:23
four little
8:26
tabs and fold them in half
8:33
so this is piece
8:34
D the little tabs fold them in half
8:39
burnish the fold because this is what's
8:41
going to make everything
8:44
flip and like I said in the beginning
8:47
you need to use a thick card stock
8:50
otherwise it will not be able to move
8:54
the
8:56
flip if it's not heavy enough enough to
9:00
carry the weight and to create the
9:03
movement okay so now we're going to
9:05
attach two tabs to our mechanism to
9:09
piece
9:11
C we're going to attach them while the
9:14
fold faes
9:16
us and we're going to attach them apply
9:20
glue only on one side and attach them to
9:24
those little tabs on the side while the
9:26
fold faces us okay
9:30
so we have those on both sides now we're
9:33
going to take the
9:35
mechanism or the flip
9:39
and this is how it looks so we're going
9:41
to take
9:43
it and flip it like
9:46
that and then do the exact same thing
9:49
apply glue on one side of
9:54
the tab and attach it while the
9:57
fold is facing us and you need to
10:03
align the tabs completely with the tab
10:07
the the little tabs on the side so
10:11
everything needs to be really
10:13
straight otherwise the flip will not
10:17
happen so make sure you align it with
10:20
the
10:20
edges so this is what we have
10:25
now this is how it looks we have little
10:30
folded tabs on both sides of the tabs
10:35
here and now we need to attach it to our
10:39
card so you open the card lay
10:44
flat and then apply
10:46
glue to the
10:51
tabs and attach
10:53
them like this to the legs on the side
10:59
while
11:00
aligning the flip in the center of the
11:10
window and don't try to move anything
11:13
before it's completely
11:20
dry so I'm going
11:22
to wait until everything is dry now
11:26
we're going to take the last piece
11:31
and we're going to cut out a
11:34
window this is piece e and we're going
11:38
to cut the window exactly the same as
11:40
piece a half an inch from the bottom and
11:43
3/4 from each side now I'm going to take
11:48
very narrow pieces of foam tape and
11:52
attach them to the top
11:55
of piece e this is going to cover
12:00
everything and we're just going to
12:02
attach it with this very very narrow
12:06
about 1/8 of an inch foam tape strips
12:10
that needs to be
12:12
attached on the edges the right and left
12:15
edges on the top of piece e because
12:19
they're going to need to fit here on the
12:25
side so apply glue on the little folding
12:28
tabs remove the backing
12:32
from the foam
12:36
tape which is sometimes really
12:41
annoying and then we're going to attach
12:44
piece e which covers
12:47
everything while the card is flat laying
12:51
open flat going to attach piece e
12:56
aligning it with the bottom of the card
13:00
like this so this is what covers the
13:04
entire
13:05
mechanism making sure it is
13:12
straight okay so now our card is
13:15
basically ready it will take a few times
13:18
to open and
13:21
close the card to teach the mechanism
13:25
where it needs to go so you see in the
13:27
first time you just need to do it very
13:30
gently fold it make sure that the folds
13:34
are
13:35
really
13:37
burnished this is how it looks from the
13:40
side you see how it folds on itself like
13:44
this when you open and
13:48
close the top flap and then it twists
13:52
like this see so you need to work it a
13:55
few times to make sure that
13:59
it works
14:00
properly then you can go ahead and
14:03
attach all the cover papers and again
14:06
you have all the
14:07
measurements in The Cutting guide for
14:10
all the cover papers of this really
14:13
really cool
14:18
card so you need to work it a few times
14:20
like I
14:22
said and then you if it doesn't work it
14:24
means that you didn't use a thick enough
14:27
card stock and and it does not work
14:31
because the card stock is too weak to
14:34
flip the
14:36
window so we need to create the perfect
14:40
window to
14:42
cover the card and the tip you have the
14:46
measurements in The Cutting guide but if
14:48
you really want to see how it's done
14:50
this extra tip is available for our

on that join
15:19
button it is really just a few dollars a
15:22
month to support me in making all those
15:26
free videos so we attach our cover
15:29
papers to the top
15:31
flap and to the window as well and then
15:35
since each of the times that you turn it
15:37
you're going to see a different side of
15:40
the
15:41
flap it's really fun to write something
15:44
on
15:45
it depends depending on what you want
15:49
the card to say who you want to give it
15:51
to it's up to you what you want to
15:54
write or you can add letter stickers
15:57
instead or you can
15:59
print something cut it out and attach it
16:02
I'm just
16:05
using handwriting so all I want to say
16:09
is and then on the other side I'm just
16:12
going to
16:15
I wrote I started writing on the wrong
16:18
side
16:19
of
16:22
the window there the flip so I'm just
16:26
covering it with another piece of paper
16:30
cuz this is the side
16:33
when the other side anyway make sure
16:36
that you don't get
16:40
confused so all I want to say is I love
16:43
you and then when you open the card you
16:45
can
16:47
see how that is revealed so again after
16:52
you add the cover papers you need
16:55
to work it a few times and make sure
16:58
that it works
16:59
